What a fantastic show! I marathoned both seasons, using On Demand. It was a very unique show, and I found the history of early medicine, portrayed by the series, absolutely amazing. I am now left hanging, with several loose ends, praying for another season.

Season was outstanding the issues covered, the storyline the development of the characters brilliant. Very curious to see another season disappointed about the ratings did Thackery die or did Bertie’s adrenaline work, how selfishness does Lucy become, does Barrow lose everything to his girlfriend or die from cancer or lastly come back with all new characters and stories

The Knick is an excellently done show but it is dark and may discouraging to many viewers but it is a great showing the history of medicine and how far it has advanced! My wife and I love the show and watch it together and discuss the show, characters, etc. It was amazing to see how the characters reacted when the hospital got a new X-ray machine and people j stood there absorbing radiation that we know now would have been harmful. I want more seasons of this show!!!!!
